A biochip capable of detecting the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus will work as an express test, RIA Novosti told RIA Novosti at the Blokhina Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology .
According to scientists, this is a 25 by 75 mm plate, on which microprobes are placed, which make it possible to determine the presence of a causative agent in biological material. The chip does not need to be placed in the human body, the biomaterials will go to the lab, where they will be tested for the presence of the virus.
Testing will take place in 2023-2024, the institute said.
Previously, it was known that experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University have developed a prototype mask that will show whether the person wearing it has coronavirus. A built-in microsensor will help determine the presence of a virus. & Nbsp;
